For all those people that are switched on in the head, I would like you to apply your common sense to this video.
They reckon that this place has been turned into a virtual vacuum. Now remember. These people are experts in this day and age of doing this stuff, apparently, right?
Nothing shocks them about vacuums, because...well, they are just so used to knowing what they do against objects and such.
Having said that, before I decide to pick this absolute pile of crap apart, I'd like you to focus on the scientists who are viewing this slow motion experiment.
Go to 3:20 and watch the total amazement on their faces as they see the feather and bowling ball falling at the same time. They've never done this before. It must be the first ever time this system has been used. It has to be, judging by their almost kiddified amazed faces....in this day and age. Something that Newton supposedly done before breakfast.
This is what I'm talking about when I say that we are being filled full of crap. Brian Cox is a rock star turned professor. Or shall I say: he's a rock star turned bullshit artist for the camera, actor.
Let's see if any of you good people can pick this crap apart.
I'll start off by asking you to look at the feathers when they bounce and spring back up.
There's just two oddities about it all.
Of course, the shills will pipe in with, " oh no, just because they look amazed, it's staged."
And all that flannel.
Much LULZ..... why am I not in the least bit surprised that the forum's resident intellectual midget would totally fail to grasp the scientific concepts of what we're seeing in this video? I'm guessing—on a good day—that even Bozo the Clown would've gleaned at least some tidbit of earth science from this demonstration.
It's kinda sad that
sceptimatic doesn't share the wonderment (as I did) of Galileo's 400-year-old experiment actually being proven before our eyes. Then again, one of his favourite debating [
sic] tactics is to throw around the ad hominem attacks when he's lost for an explanation of something that everybody else can grasp.
And as for his puerile attack on Professor Brian Cox, it's just another of
sceptimatic's nonsensical, attempted putdowns. Cox has first-class B.Sc
and M.Phil degrees in Physics, plus a Doctor of Philosophy, and has a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and an Honorary Science Doctorate from the University of Huddersfield.
On the other hand,
sceptimatic has zero scientific qualifications, which makes his childish attack on Cox nothing more than an absolute joke (particularly since
sceptimatic refuses to provide even one of his
purported academic qualifications).
So... the bottom lime; we have
sceptimatic's irellevant, unevidenced, incoherent, non-scientific babblings versus a world-renowned, multi-disciplined physicist and scientist.
Gee... who to believe? Ummm.....?
